ADAPTIVE REUSE - RESIDENTIAL GUEST HOUSE, ART GALLERY, & SCULPTURE GARDEN

HIGHLAND PARK, TEXAS | 3,870 SQFT (PUMP HOUSE) | 5,600 SQFT (GARDEN) | COMPLETED IN 2004

2005 TSA DESIGN AWARD 2005

2023 DALLAS ARCHITECTURE FORUM DESIGN RECOGNITION AWARD

The unique opportunity to convert an old water pump station into a public space used to hold social functions and to exhibit art.  The new program included a residential guest house, an art gallery and a sculpture garden. The concept was to make the new interventions to the buildings very distinct and deliberate from the existing industrial context.  The roughness and imprecision of the existing brick pump house and the sunken concrete water holding tanks are made more visible by the new, precise additions such as the glass floors inside and the cantilevered second floor balcony.

“Demonstrates great collaboration between architect and landscape architect. Both capitalize on found conditions and breathe new life into them.”
